Hurst owns five loud tools. His 99 mph throw from the outfield would have set the all-time PG National Showcase record had it not been for Michael Gettys' 100 mph throw earlier at the same event. He also posted an impressive 6.59 second 60-yard dash time and launched several balls into the seats beyond the right field wall in the Metrodome. Hurst also shows the ability to use those tools, with an advanced approach at the plate and good instincts in the outfield.
